In the commodification of social media, you can only handle so much.

A lot of what you see online is nothing more than a performative act of service.

It’s become way too easy to fall for the guise of attempted “authenticity.”

Even the most “real” creator must publishes carefully crafted content.

Jumpcut.

It’s appropriation of basic normality. A juxtaposition everything social media.

Why submit to dishonesty?

it’s all pretty limited. There’s nothing more real than simply living your life.

All these people on the wide web are no different from you or me. Cliche.

Endless scrolling that eats away at time.

Outside of online journal, I’ve taken a detox, and it has done wonders for me.

It’s healing in a way.

A salvation of sorts that I cannot recommend enough.

But I’m not one to project my ideals onto the viewer.

Everything is up to you.
